Is that nylon? You could have a replacement 3D printed.

My point is precisely a criticism of it not being the norm.

Here’s how it works, where it works: you buy a liter of coke in a glass bottle, it costs $2 but you pay $4 because you have no bottle to return. You drink it. When you want more Coke you bring the bottle and exchange it for a full bottle. Option 2: you buy the Coke for $2, drink it there and return the bottle right there.

Am I calling for banning plastic? No. But the default where I grew up was the glass bottle, no plastic waste. Plastic is almost never fully recycled, it degrades every cycle and is often mixed in with new plastic because it makes the manufacturing process less variable.

You can’t even tell the difference between recycling and reusing and are asking me to do research on wether glass was being used before disposable plastic was invented?

Reusing is not the same as recycling. Recycling would be to melt down the glass and make a different bottle. Reusing is cleaning, sterilizing and maybe reprinting the bottle. Less energy intensive and the same supply chain that delivers the full bottles receives the empty ones. No empty delivery trucks on the way back. This has been done and proven before.

Yeah, that was still being done with coke in Latin America til the 00’s. We did it like that at home. I’m sure Africa too. I never saw one of those bottles littering. They were picked up to sell within 5 minutes of you abandoning them.

Maybe not in the developed world today. Remember the milkman?

Glass does not need recycling. We have been reusing glass bottles for centuries.

But don’t worry guys! They also have glass bottles in select markets. (Sarcasm)

Oh it’s like a cliché word soup! Love it.

Interesting the lack of middle age objects

I’m impressed by the sheer amount

I thought the developers left Russia long before it all went down.

Inflation is very hard to analyze, it’s hard to pinpoint a cause. The economy is a very complex system.

True story. Cycling got me out of that feeling. It’s exercise plus views.

Because they don’t live in this city, they live in rural areas

I’d say all politicians are like that

Imagine if all that energy and enthusiasm went into banning 6 ounce bottled water and 10 cheese slices in a thick ziplock bag.

I’d bring mine if I had a disability, just so that I get a consistent experience. But notice that plastic bags are still available for purchase. They are not the default now but they keep them around.

Yeah, some people just buy new bags every time, and still buy garbage bags, so it’s more wasteful in that case.

I try to reuse mine as much as possible but now with Target delivery they just buy the plastic bags and I can’t do anything about it. Wish they had paper bags, as least that can easily be put back into a tree (composting then fertilizing).

I get the spirit of reducing plastics but we’re not going to save the world with this. We still need to get rid of plastic packaging. 10 cheese slices in a thick plastic bag, come on!?

Exactly. Murder you would have to prove intent, and since this was a punch in the face and not a push, it’s hard to prove the puncher had the intention making him lose balance.

I smell a little bias, just a liiitle in that article.

So often their market is not the end user, it’s the company that will buy them out.

Yeah, let them crash and burn!!! Run that capital dry, baby!

Possible meaning: they will bid higher on a property because they have a higher purchasing power.

Alternative: corporate owner contracts a management company, management company takes a significant cut of the rent
